Submission of two additional Exclusive Prospecting License (“EPL”) applications along the strike from its Aukam Graphite mine in Namibia
The Company is putting together a reconnaissance mapping and sampling program to study its graphite bearing ability of the shear along the strike.
TORONTO, Feb. 5, 2019 /CNW/ – Gratomic Inc. (“Gratomic” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: GRAT) (CB81–FRANKFURT) a
vertically integrated graphite to graphenes, advanced materials
development company announces the submission of two additional Exclusive
Prospecting License (“EPL”) applications along the strike from its
Aukam Graphite mine in Namibia.
Aukam graphite is situated in brittle ductile synthetic shear zones
exhibiting Riedel shearing. The host rocks consist of granites and
gneiss. The synthetic shear zone consists of a strike at 240° to 260°
with a sub-vertical dip. Riedel shears observed within the interpreted
extensional regime strike at 305° to 320° and provide a conduit for
graphite to precipitate within the existing fault structures. Graphite
appears to precipitate in jog structures and irregular veins due to an
increase of pressure. The shear zone, with its host rock, is expected to
continue in the new EPL applications with graphite mineralization
propagating from the East and terminating in the West.
The Company is putting together a reconnaissance mapping and sampling
program to study its graphite bearing ability of the shear along the
strike.
Gratomic’s CO-CEO Arno Brand stated,
“Through applying for additional ground, Gratomic will be able to
explore the extent of the shear zone along the strike. Having followed
the shear zone hosting the graphite to the end of available outcrop, our
expectation is that it continues along strike below the aeolian sand
cover.”

GRAT and TODAQ Holdings Inc. have entered into a memorandum of understanding
Describes the terms of a supply chain partnership to put Gratomic’s supply chain and products on the TODA Protocol.
Integrating Gratomic’s operations and products onto the TODA-as-a-service platform with TODAQ as a partner allows delivery of desired product efficiently and effectively into the customers hands
TORONTO, Jan. 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Gratomic Inc. (the “Company”) (TSX.V:GRAT), a publicly traded Canadian TSX.V company, and TODAQ Holdings Inc. (“TODAQ”) are pleased to announce that they have entered into a memorandum of understanding describing the terms of a supply chain partnership to put Gratomic’s supply chain and products on the TODA Protocol.
“The
market for tires requires products that deliver fuel efficiency, safe
handling, and extended wear. Integrating Gratomic’s operations and
products onto the TODA-as-a-service (“TaaS”) platform with TODAQ as a
partner allows us to deliver the desired product efficiently and
effectively into the customers hands, with the peace of mind of knowing
what they own has been monitored from the raw material source through to
the finished product,”said Gratomic’s Chairman and co-CEO Sheldon Inwentash.
The project will focus on providing incontrovertible proof of
provenance in respect of Gratomic’s graphite supply and consequent
synthesis of commercial nano engineered graphene products throughout the
global graphene marketplace down to the end consumer.
“We’re pleased to add Gratomic as our mining partner alongside our
other pharmaceutical and energy supply chain projects. TODAQ is looking
forward to adding efficiency and security with scale to Gratomic’s
operations, providing a brand multiplier that adds confidence to
products carrying liberated nano engineered graphene from Gratomic’s
dedicated graphite source, and of course addressing the potential for
forgeries and fakes that can become a constant source of leakage,” said Sung Soo Park, TODAQ Managing Director in Seoul.
The project will be rolled out in stages over 2019 as Gratomic brings
its end products to market starting with first proof of concepts and
staging to commercial delivery of its fuel efficient tire in
collaboration with its development partner, Perpetuus Carbon
Technologies.
“Our Graphite mine in Namibia
delivers some of the highest quality exceptionally friable graphite for
ease of commercial processing. A methodology for monitoring which
graphite source is processed into a specific product is a game changer,”
said Arno Brand, Gratomic’s co-CEO.
It is expected that the complete project will span multiple
continents with peer-to-peer cross-border settlement of transactions in
less than a minute, and aim to efficiently demonstrate results that can
commercially scale up looking into 2020. Later phases will also aim to
include value-added trade finance services on the TaaS platform.
“The TODA Protocol ensures individual ownership of your own data and
TODAQ is here to enable secure and efficient international trade and
commoditize the settlement of value. The beauty of this project is that
once a customer buys graphene ultra-efficient tires, they own that
digital asset and embedded proof of the tire, without requiring any
other intermediary including the mine, processor, manufacturing company,
retail source or even TODAQ,” said TODAQ CEO, Hassan Khan.
About TODAQ Holdings Inc.
TODAQ is a fintech “bank of the future” that offers both a supply
chain solutions platform and a consumer solutions platform to
enterprises, banks, and smart cities for all their asset and money
transactions. It intends to also provide these clients access to value
added finance and insurance services. TODAQ is also initially

Developed new Graphene Ultra Fuel Efficient Tires (GUET)
Certification and terrain testing targeted for completion in Q3, 2019
The automotive tire market is large and is expected to grow to 2.5 billion tires by 2022
The GUET tire market represents a very large vertical for Gratomic which the Company will be vigorously pursuing in 2019, and beyond
Gratomic Inc. (“Gratomic†or the “Companyâ€) (TSX-V: GRAT) (CB81-FRANKFURT) a
vertically integrated graphite to graphenes, advanced materials company
is pleased to announce the development of Gratomic’s new Graphene Ultra
Fuel Efficient Tires (GUET) with certification and terrain testing targeted for completion in Q3, 2019.
“Purely from a demand perspective, we have been pulled into a market which represents a very large opportunity for Gratomic. Simply put, our customers want what we have; high quality
graphene. Not only are Hybrid Graphene enhanced tires fuel efficient,
but they can also demonstrate better handling and longer life†commented
Gratomic’s Chairman and Co-CEO Sheldon Inwentash. “The GUET tire market represents a very large vertical for Gratomic which the Company will be vigorously pursuing in 2019, and beyond.â€
Gratomic recognizes the automotive tire market is large and is expected to grow to 2.5 billion tires by 2022. Gratomic looks to penetrate and disrupt the traditional means of tire production by providing graphene enabled
GUET tires. To date, the global tire market has recognized that
employing graphenes within tire treads, walls and the inner linings can
make tires lighter, provide better grip and reduce rolling resistance to
an extent that is not possible with existing tire compounds. On
average, this would require 20 to 25 grams of graphene per tire.
However, for the Industry, specification consistency and scaleability of supply have been limiting factors and to date have been the biggest constraints in commercializing Graphene.
Attributed
to the right combination of geology at the mine and our processing
partner, Gratomic strongly believes it can satisfy the supply demand of quality graphenes required for what the Company believes is the growing market demand for a new age economy tire. Gratomic is confident in its ability to deliver consistent quality and quantities of Graphenes to end users.
Gratomic
has been able to achieve this through a unique collaboration agreement
with its development partner Perpetuus Carbon Technologies who currently
supplies
substantial quantities of surface modified graphenes on a monthly basis
to the tire industry through its Patented Plasma Process.
Ian Walters Director – Perpetuus Carbon Technologies Limited stated:
“Perpetuus’ investigative analysis and characterization has concluded that the Graphenes derived from the Gratomic mine are highly friable, more so than any other graphite tested for purpose
by the Perpetuus Labs. The liberated graphenes when functionalized have
demonstrated excellent processability. Initial application in a host of
end uses has demonstrated excellent suitability for a range of
products. Most noteworthy are the excellent results generated when the
Hybrid Graphenes are included in elastomers for tire construction.
Perpetuus looks forward to working with Gratomic to launch probably the first range of Graphene enabled ultra fuel efficient tires.â€
Employing
its dedicated facility for the patented Perpetuus plasma method
Gratomic post plasma processing produces graphenes (less than 10 layers)
of a high purity (CK 99.10%) derived from its Graphite Mine in Namibia.
